Preview — Women in Ancient Egypt by Gay Robins
An idealised version of women appears everywhere in the art of ancient Egypt, but the true nature of these women's lives has long remained hidden. Robins' book, gracefully written and copiously illustrated, cuts through the obscurity of the ages to show us what the archaeological riches of Egypt really say about how these women lived, both in the public eye and within the...more

This book provides a good overview of women in ancient Egypt, but wasn't always as in-depth as I wanted. Many of the images are also scattered across the book, so I'd find stuff from chapter three in, say, chapter nine. It was still informative, though.

(English review after Spanish) Apr 24, 2012Lisa rated it it was amazing
Últimamente he estado bastante interesada en las cuestiones de género en el Antiguo Egipto, así que tenía bastante ganas de leerme este ensayo. La profesora Robins hace un recuento bastante exhaustivo de diversos aspectos de la vida egipcia, y los pone en relación con el papel de las mujeres. He descubierto muchos detalles que desconocía, y me ha hecho plantearme nuevas dudas. Lo único que lamento es que este campo esté tan poco estudiado, y sea tan difícil de conoc...more

I adored this book. Jul 24, 2011Mel rated it liked it
Gay Robins has produced an excellent resource on Ancient Egyptian women. Most of the book deals with the everyday life of non-royal women, and Robins admits that this mostly deals with women of the elite, as little evidence of the lives of lower class women has survived. The first two chapters, however, are dedicated to the royal women of Ancient Egypt. The first provides a general overview, while the second profiles notable queens. My one criticism of the book is that this s...more

This was by far the best book on Egyptian history I've read so far. Robins set out in the beginning stating exactly why she was looking at the subject, why it was important and what the evidence stated. It definitely was written more as a social history, with Robins paying particular attention to changes over time, and made sure to include when the sources that she was talking about were found. One small complaint about this was that rather than including the dates in brackets after the dynastie...more

Ancient Egyptian women are hard to study, mostly because of the lack of texts and other evidence we have by women or describing women, but also because Egypt was male dominated, which means, that the few things we do have concerning women are biased and made with a male point of view. Gay Robins not only realises these problems but works with them and carries them with her every step of the way through this book, which was a tremendous joy for me, since a lot of scholars usually tend to ignore s...more
